Video After The Jump
Dr. Dre was handcuffed and briefly detained by police in Malibu, California following a bizarre confrontation with another man.
TMZ reports that the music legend arrived at his home Monday, July 25, only to find a car blocking his driveway.
When Dre asked the driver to move things got tense.
The motorist moved his vehicle out of the way, before telling Dre that he had just pulled off of Pacific Coast Highway and ended up in front of the rap mogul's home while he was doing something.
He then started yelling and cursing. prompting Dre to pull out his phone to record video of what was happening.
The driver mistook the phone for a firearm and reportedly said, "Here we go again, another black guy with a gun," before calling the police.
When Los Angeles County Sheriffs arrived on the scene they put Dre in handcuffs while he was searched. No gun was found, so they let him go.
However, the driver wasn't satisfied and insisted on making a citizen's arrest. He filled out a report that will be forwarded to the District Attorney, who will decide if there is a case.
**UPDATE** June 28
TMZ reports that the L.A. County District Attorney has rejected the case citing insufficient evidence.
Sources close to Dre believed this would be the outcome all along because the entire situation was "ridiculous."
